Subwoofer Calibration (AVIA) db level question (1 Viewer)

[Bill_Boston]

Hello ... in calibrating my 5.1 system, I've got LCR and Surrounds all calibrated to pretty much 71/72 db. What should my SVS subwoofer be calibrated to? 71/72 as well? Or, as I think I read somewhere on this board, 82 db? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

I would set it the same as the others. But you will find that you need to tweak it up or down with some sources.

It's personal preference. Try it set the same as the other speakers and see how you like it. Personally, I prefer my sub 10dB hot.
